Have you ever had an idea in the middle of the night, written it down, and placed it in your ideas folder? And then forgotten all about it?
Yeah. One of those ideas.
While sorting through files yesterday, I came across a folder with book ideas in it, but it wasn’t in the place it should have been. Opening the file, I recognized the other ideas, but I couldn’t remember the last one.
Turns out it was another story line for the Speranza Series. Idea title–An English Werewolf on Gambler’s Folly.
Like I didn’t have enough on my plate from Gambler’s already…
Watch for The Russian later this year. It will be Book 3 from Gambler’s Folly, in the Speranza Series.
Next up after that will be a book in the Esperance Series–Talents–the continuing story of Viviane and introducing the new heir of Belfort. Connell is a ten year old little boy who must now train to become ruler of his clan. And he’s not happy…

I know, I know.
It has been a while.
But I have been writing. Honest!
How about an excerpt from Master of the Fleet? And maybe a snippet from a WIP?
Anne-Marie was tired from the trip, but where was she to sleep? They’d brought Richard to the first
room they could reach when he’d collapsed. This was a single room, with one small bed
and a sofa.
Richard was stretched out on his back taking up the whole bed. There wouldn’t have been room
for her, anyway, in such a tiny bed. His feet were sticking out the end and his right arm was on the
verge of falling off the bed. Everything from his elbow down hung out in mid-air.
Rummaging in the wardrobe, she found a blanket she could use. Maybe she could get another
one from the desk. Carefully closing the door, she went to ask the clerk for more blankets,
which he generously provided her.
“I am sorry about the room, Madame. We had a different one reserved for you on the second
floor. The men who carried your husband from the coach didn’t know who he was, so we put
him in there. I’d no idea he’d still be sleeping. Is there anything else I can get you?”
Back in the room, she made up the sofa, changed into a nightgown, and went back to sit
with Richard. His arm over the edge of the bed couldn’t be comfortable. As she tucked it
back up under the covers, she remarked on how heavy an arm is when it’s totally limp.
She knew he’d have been more comfortable if he’d had time to change out of his travel clothes,
but doubted she could undress him. Instead, she unbuttoned the first few buttons on his shirt,
loosened his belt and trousers, and tucked the covers around him again.
Why was she so concerned? She wasn’t in love with the man. True, he had been
very kind to her, both before their marriage and since. Maybe she simply needed him
to get back home. Once there, they would have to sort out a lot of things,
but they had to get there first.
It couldn’t be love. That door had been closed for ages. She had given up all hope for love
a long time ago. When she fell asleep and nearly toppled off the chair, she crawled under
the blankets on the sofa. Richard still lay as one dead. What would he be like
when he finally woke up?
THE RUSSIAN–Book 3 from Gambler’s Folly
If it hadn’t been for her scent, he would have been fine. Lilacs with honeyed-
vanilla and white musk had wrapped around him softly. Hazel eyes under blonde curls had
drawn him in. He’d thought, after all this time, he had control over his urges.
What had possessed him to kiss her?
Her mouth now, there was a treat. Fresh raspberries and sweet white wine still teased
his palette. Between her scent and her taste,he was one messed up wolf. He wanted
to run through the forest, roll in the leaves, and howl to his pack mates
about this delicious female he’d met.
No, he wouldn’t see her again. He didn’t need a relationship.
Life around him was too uncertain.
Besides, he’d had a mate long ago and, when she’d died, she’d taken his heart to her grave.

Colonized and then abandoned, Esperance was torn apart by disease and unrest when supplies from Earth failed to appear. After a short time, chaos reigned, as those few left clawed for survival in the ruins of their past.
Eventually a few men rose out of the chaos, men with unusual abilities, who brought back the rule of law. Dividing the lands and people into clans, they built a world of their own on the ashes of the old.
Several hundred years later, a strong leader rose in Clan Brannach–First Lord Jareth. Young, widowed, with no heir, he knows he must find a mate, but his heart isn’t in it.
Until he meets Viviane.
The youngest daughter of the House of Belfort, Viviane is a young widow, having recently lost her husband to an accident. Wanting to remain independent from her family, she is nearly out of options when First Lord Jareth rides in with demands, including The Choosing.
Now one of the chosen, she is taken from her clan to Clan Brannach, to be courted by this dark, powerful, and mysterious First Lord.
But can she open her heart to love once again?
Come with me and meet the people of Esperance–Jareth and Viviane, James and Morgan, Connell and Nellie, Ben and Deborah…
Follow their lives and loves on this highland world full of mischief, romance and magic.

So, have you read the books in my Esperance Series? How about a brief look?
JARETH, FIRST LORD
Book 1 of the series introduces Jareth, the leader of his clan, and Viviane, the lady he hopes to win. He is a widower and she a widow, who isn’t sure she can ever open her heart again.
VIVIANE, FIRST LADY
Book 2 continues the story after their marriage. Viviane has developed Talents she shouldn’t have. As they grow stronger, she must learn to control them before she becomes a threat to everyone around her. In the meantime, she has to attend her brother’s trial, and the emotional stress may well cause an out-of-control outburst of Talent.
MORGAN-–The Pixie and the Green Man
Book 3 brings the focus to a girl introduced briefly in Book 1. Morgan came to Clan Brannach during the choosing, hoping to leave the abuse and molestation behind. But a few short months after changing clans, she is attacked and would have been raped if not for the two men who stepped in to rescue her.
Deciding men weren’t worth the effort, she resists the attentions of the handsome and humorous James Ferguson. But those delightful dimples and his charm are so captivating.
Fantasy, romance, humor, psychic abilities… What more could anyone want?
All three books are available through Amazon, Smashwords, or any major book seller.
Excerpt from Viviane, First Lady
“Bring help, Viviane. This is where I am.”
A simplified map showing the manor, his location, and a line tracing the way
between them appeared behind her eyes.
“See the map. Know the map. You can find me, and it is so. You have the ability. Make it so.”
“Jareth, are you alright?” she asked him.
“I’ll be fine. Just bring help to get me home.”
She must have yelled or screamed when she saw Jareth fall, because as she
turned to go get help for Jareth, she saw Annie, Gerard, and two guards
entering the room.
“Lady Viviane,” one of the guards asked, “is everything okay?”
“No! Jareth is hurt and needs help. Bring a doctor or healer, get Duncan, and
meet me in the stables. I will take you to him.”
“Milady, are you sure you’re alright? Maybe a bad dream or an after effect
of your medicine…” Annie began.
“No, it was not a bad dream! Jareth has had an accident on the way over the
mountain. His horse fell and threw him onto the rocks.”
One of the guards said, “Somebody fetch Duncan before we all go on a wild
chase for nothing. Maybe he can make sense of what she’s saying.”
At this point, Viviane became angry. She could feel her temper taking over,
yet now she didn’t care. Jareth was injured and alone.
“I am your First Lady and you will obey me! Take me to the stables,
get a doctor or healer, and bring Duncan as fast as you can before I lose the
information I have. If you won’t come with me to help your First Lord,
I will go by myself. To hell with you all!”
